An American Fishing Vessel Report
ed Sunk by a Cruiser.
The story the Subject of Much Dis
cussion In Halifax.
American Fishermen Well Treated
by United States. Officers.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. ia gentleman who
arrived here last evening from Buctouche
a small village on the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
shore of New Brunswick, tells startling and
sensational story, calculated to make the
blood boil in every American citizen. 1t is
to the effect that fishing schooner belonging
to the United States, has been sunk by a
shot from one of the Canadian cruisers, and
that all on board were lost. The statement
appears incredible. but the reliability of the
person who communicates it. andiwho gives
it only for what it is worth. Jean be depended
upon. This gentleman has been spending
some time in BuctOuche, and is. well ac-
quainted with the Inhabitants, but has no in
terest whatever in fishery matters. and can
have no possible reason for repeating story
which he knows to be false He states that
one night about eight days ago, while sleep:
ing in a house in the village, he and his wife
were awakened by two loud reports, bat
heard nothing further, and, concluding that
the noise was merely peals of thunder, went
to sleep again. In the morning they were
told they had heard the reports Of two cannon
shots, which were fired from cruiser In pur-
suit of an American fishing schooner. The
second shot struck one of the schOOner's
masts, which fell with the sails and turned
the schooner completely over on her side,
when she filled and sank Immediately. Ev-
cry man on board went down, not being given
a minutes time to launch boat
The affair, it is affirmed, was witnessed by
two Buctouche fishermen, who were off the
shore in a row boat, and who carried the
news home, but were not seen by the corre-
spondent's informant. After seeing the ter
rible result of her shot, the cruiser was put
to sea and was soon lost in the night.
:, Ihere was no storm during the night, so
that the noise heard could not have
been caused by thunder. The reports were
heard by nearly everybody in the village,
who at the moment also attributed them to
thunder.
The gentleman relating this terrible affair
says he understands that an effort Is being
made to keep it quiet, but the whole may
possibly be without foundation. There Is no
doubt, however, about reports being heard,
and also that there was no storm.

MILK, WHEY AND FRUIT JUICE.
Remedies In Vogue at a FavorIte In
valid Resort In Austria.

Before describing the attractions Of Meran
as winter residence, shall briefly mention
the other tOrms Of cure In vogue there.
Among them the milk and whey cures are
pre-. eminent. Meran cows milk Is remarka-
able for its excellence; the whey made from
goats milk here Is remarkably rich In sugar.
The patient who Is under a milk diet gets
milk alone, but he gets plenty Of II. the dose
being nearly quart every three hours. II
after existing on milk for a week the patient
longs for something more substantial, he is
allowed a roll or two soaked in milk; at tie
end Of a fortnight he is given little meat
and after three weeks treatment he Is either
quite recovered or he ought tO be, the fault
being his own II the cure Is not complete.
Milk Is obtainable at different times in the
year; the period Of the whey cure, however
begins In April and ends with May Whey
Is drank In the morning. and some mineral
water Is often taken along with H. Those
persons whose cases are not adapted for the
milk or whey cure may ind benefit from
koumiss prepared from cows milk. The
dose at the beginning Of the treatment Is an
imperial quart taken In two portions daily.
one In the morning. the other in the after
noon. The quantity taken Is gradually in
creased till the dose Is three imperial quarts.
All the forms Of cure INave named are not
peculiar to Meran, though they are pursued
here in more systematic fashion than In
other places. The last have to mention
cannot be had In like perfection elsewhere
1t is plant-juice cure, and Is available in
the spring only, when certain plants unfold
their first green leaves on the slopes OF the
Alps. The Juice Is expressed from them and
the patient drinks It. 1t may Interest the
botanist 10 learn the names Of plants so em-
ployed; they are Achilloea m.llefolium, Mas
turt iumaquaticum, Rumex acetosa, kuta
0raviolens LeontOdon taraxacum, Urtica
dioica and Menyanthes trifoliata. The de-
eoetlon Il green in color and bitter In taste.

is practised from tho middle of March till
